The Romanian will next face Ukraine's Lyudmyla Kichenok in Florianopolis, after her victory over Tereza Martincova of the Czech Republic.
Bogdan capitalised on Jankovic's poor performance by winning 6-2 7-5. The world number 29 had threatened a comeback in the second set but swiftly lost momentum. Kichenok overcame Martincova 1-6 6-4 7-6 (7/1).
Bogdan's compatriot Irina-Camelia Begu, the second seed, had earlier defeated Brazilian Paula Cristina Goncalves 6-1 6-2.
